A geocoder extension for OpenLayers. Requires OpenLayers v3.11.0 or higher.
You can see here a demo or on jsFiddle if you prefer. There is also a demo of creating a custom provider
The plugin supports (for now) the following providers:
- OSM/Nominatim —
'osm'
. - MapQuest Geocoding API — requires KEY —
'mapquest'
. - Photon —
'photon'
. - Bing — requires KEY —
'bing'
. - OpenCage — requires KEY —
'opencage'
.
You can also write your own provider, passing an instance of it to the Geocoder
constructor via the provider
property of the options argument.
For an example of defining and using a custom provider see examples/custom-provider.js
Custom providers must implement the following methods:
options
{Object}
query
Search string entered by the user;lang
{string}
Preferable language;limit
{number}
Limit of results;
results
{Object}
Parsed JSON response from API call

var geocoder = new Geocoder('nominatim', {
provider: 'mapquest',
key: '__some_key__',
lang: 'pt-BR', //en-US, fr-FR
placeholder: 'Search for ...',
targetType: 'text-input',
limit: 5,
keepOpen: true
});
map.addControl(geocoder);
geocoder.on('addresschosen', function(evt){
var feature = evt.feature,
coord = evt.coordinate,
bbox = evt.bbox,
address = evt.address;
// some popup solution
content.innerHTML = '<p>'+ address.formatted +'</p>';
overlay.setPosition(coord);
});

type
{String}
- Maybe later we will have other types like'reverse'
. So for now just pass'nominatim'

created by Geocoder control.
Returns the source {ol.source.Vector}
created by Geocoder control.
@param {String} provider
Sets a new provider.
@param {String} key

geocoder.on('addresschosen', function(evt) {
// it's up to you
console.info(evt);
